Monday Motivation….. December 17, 2012 (097)
Once upon a time a newlywed couple were eating a meal together – and for no apparent reason, the husband was wolfing down his food like there was no tomorrow. Wife finds this annoying but kept quiet.
Next day, his wife said to him, “My beloved husband, no one is going to steal your food. Why don’t you slow down and enjoy it?”
The husband snappily replied, “That’s my secret. I can’t tell you.”
Upon hearing this, the wife became even more curious about her husband’s bizarre eating habits, and asked once again in an affectionate tone. Finally, the husband replied, “I eat like this because my family has eaten quickly for as long as we can trace back our history, I’m just following our custom.”
Moral:
Many people act like the man in the above story. Rather than considering weather what they’re doing is right or wrong, they simply say, “This is how our group has done things for as long back as we can remember and that is why we do it now,” and they persist in these actions without modifying them, all the way until their death. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life; Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking; Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice; And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.…
Have a great week ahead!
